Pharmacy Pills

129 pills for the counter, with a quiz

Léelo en español →

A pill is what you need to know about a medicine or a topic to answer well at the counter: how it works, when to use it and when not to, the warnings and a three-question quiz.

What matters is open. How it works, when to use it and when not to, and the warnings can be read without an account; pharmacokinetics, the comparison and the quiz need a free account, which also remembers what you have passed. Counter protocols, the leaflet scanner and the social media calendar are fully behind the account.
